Oh, it's so beautiful! You are right, it is like a lovely oasis. the trees will grow and provide even more of a 'secluded' feeling.
You have made such a good job of it. Is that cedar bark you put down on the pathway? I love the smell of Cedar.
The Birch looks graceful and beautiful.
I had a shock with Birch trees however.... When I was 13 I found a tiny birch tree 'twig' about 18" long growing among some brush by the river. I should have left it....but I was 13 and had no sense.
I planted it in our garden at my parents' house. It flourished, and grew....and grew.....and grew.
Eventually 30 years later it was half the height again of the house, with a huge trunk. The last I saw of it was in 2009. And it was massive!
The house was sold in 2011 18 months after my mother passed away. I heard the tree was going to be cut down by the new owners
